President Cleveland and his family have
been somewhat treated of in the newspapers,
but there is no fuller exposition of all matters
connected with them than will be found in
"Appleton's New Cyclopedia of American
Biography" which is now going through the
press. The first volume Of this will contain
all the Clevelands of prominence in Ameri-
can history, and not few Of these will be
unknown to the average reader. Grover
Cleveland himself is descended from Moses
Cleveland, who left Ipswich, county of Suf-
folk, England, in 1885, and settled at Woburn,
Mass This man was the great-grandfather
of the great-great-grandfathe of Grover.
President Cleveland's grandfather's name
was William, and he was silversmith and
matchmaker at Norwich, Conn., His father
was Richard Falley Cleveland, Presbyterian
preacher, who graduated at Yale in 1924.
Grover Cleveland made his first money at
1S, and at this time he was paid by his uncle
go week for six weeks work. The labor
performed was in connection with the
american Herd Book" President Cleveland
afterward aided in several volumes of this
work, and in the preface to the fifth volume
Of 1861 you will find the acknowledgment of
his services. -.
In this the president followed the literary
bent Of his family, for the Clevelands of the
past seem to have been much inclined to litera-

NEW YORK, June 10.
The woman who thinks she is stylish and is
not takes many shapes. Sometimes she is far
in the rear of the procession and yet fancies
that everything she has on is quite up to
strongest fashionable snuff. Sometimes she
is fantastic to the point of comic opera bur-
lesque, and yet carries herself with serious
self satisfaction. Sometimes she is merely
an exaggerator, one who is SO afraid of not
being stylish that she overdoes it and be-
comes ridiculous. When hats are high hers
towers above all others. When sleeves are
tight hers mortify the flesh by their fault

l met one Of these complacent creatures the
other day, and behold, I give her picture for
all the world to see. She was on Fifth ave
nue., moving in conscious grandeur, towed by
frowsy gray dog about the size of a quart
cup. The little animal wore a ribbon to
match the bow on her parasol, vivid red,
just back Of his left ear. AS the schoolmas-
ter says, he presented the appearance" of
being sensible of his and his owners absurd
ity, but couldn't help himself, and bore his
with commendable meekness.

That reminds me of something heard the
other day. You will not believe it, but the
landlady Of swell boarding house told it to
me, and she swore it was as true as truth.
Beyond that can't go.
One Of her boarders, Mrs s., was get
ting along into the era of fading charms.
Nature was getting recalcitrant in the matter
of hair, complexion, ETC. Youth had turned
its back upon her. Still she fenced with
time, the enemy, quite well. Nobody came
down to the table in drawer feathers than she.
With the aid Of full purse and the articles
Of the hair dyer, the cosmetic merchant and
the unspeakable dressmaker she carried con-
siderable SAIL and in more than one instance
headed the feet. She was widow and emit
tied to her chance, you see. One evening the
landlady heard screams proceeding from Mrs.
SIS room. Accompanied by two or three
excited female boarders she rushed thither
at once. Mrs. s., partially denuded and
quite Invested Of everything stylish and stun
ming in hair and paint, was rushing wildly
about declaring that she had seen q terrible
old bag right there in the room with her.
"Nonsense!" the others said. Nevertheless they
searched. No hag Mrs. s. moved about in
dismay and scant attire, reiterating the de-
scription of the nag. As she proceeded the
faces Of her visitors twitched nervously.
Suddenly she stopped in front Of her dressing
case, threw up her arms and began to cry like
a baby. "There she is" she said, pointing at
the mirror Simultaneously with the I'M
earthing Of the nag care the appalling reve-
lation that she had been frightened at her
own image. 1t was case which called for
tears and not laughter. The other women
tried to comfort her, but it was no easy task.
At last they went away, leaving her to her
new and overwhelming sense Of personal
hideousness. 1t was lesson to all Of them,
too. They dared not exult over it, for every
one of them had had a squint at the foe-old
age-as he lurked ahead Of them on life's
road, knowing full well that if they Travelled
on they would be obliged to come up and have
a hand to hand tussle with him.
Take this story for what it is worth. 1t has
its uses quite aside from truth. II it teaches
1t is not to rely wholly on external
aids. ! say this seriously. Be beautiful in
spirit and time will pass you by without
marking you. Nay, he dare not lay finger
on you, for you are made of stuff be cannot

more about the most wonderful and beautiful

A NEW GUN.
France Produces a Gun Of Rare Force.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Army circles have
been not a little agltated during the past
two or three months over the reports from
F. ance concerning the new repeating rife be-.
Jag PLACED In the hands OF the regulars Of the
Lebel gun. This weapon Is described If being
capable of throwing a little steel pointed ball,
which makes LOCO revolutions ID minute, a
distance Of a mile aud q half. The cartridges
are So small Tint soldiers carry 200 rounds,
and the bullet at the distance of 500 yards
penetrates a brick wall eight inches. Expert
ments have been made here at the arsenal Ia
Washington during the past two years upon a
cartridge which wiz clothe an ordinary rife
with much greater powers than the che now
being introduced in the French army. 1t is a
reinforced cartridge using three times as
much powder in weight as ball, thus giving
the latter the greatest possible force. The
balls are like those used in the French rife,
Dade OF steel and so small that 23s rounds can
easily be carried by each mar while the
power is almos twice as great as that OF the
French invention. An ordinary musket or
Springfield rife will send o bullet from two
and a half to three and a half miles. 1t is
understood that although It is the invention
Of a private citizen, the option has beer
given TO this government that II no defects
are found in IT after further trials 1t will be
introduced in our army.
